Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a persistent organic pollutant (POP) commonly detected in milk and dairy products. These compounds pose a serious threat to the health of consumers due to their considerable bioaccumulation potential, high stability, and toxicity. (2) Methods: The study evaluated the potential of and probiotic cultures to reduce HCB residues in fermented goat milk beverages during 21-day refrigerated storage. HCB content was determined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). (3) Results: A strong negative correlation was found between HCB concentration in fermented milk and storage time. After 21 days, a 75-78% reduction in HCB content was observed, with showing greater efficiency in reducing hexachlorobenzene levels than (4) Conclusions: The use of probiotic cultures contributed to a significant reduction in the HCB content of fermented goat milk. Our findings support the hypothesis that the lactic acid bacteria and can lower hexachlorobenzene levels in fermented products.

This study aimed to reveal the effect of traditional Chinese herbal medicine residues (TCHMR) on growth performance, hematology, ruminal microbiota, and economic benefits of Guizhou black male goats through the fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) diet technique. A total of 22 Guizhou black male goats with an initial weight of 21.77 ± 0.

The transfer of natural antioxidants from feed to milk has become a research hotspot. Polyphenols are a source of potent natural antioxidants that may play important roles in improving antioxidant activity and milk quality in dairy goats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of polyphenol-rich Coix seed extract (CSE) on rumen fermentation, milk production, fatty acid profile, antioxidant activity, and polyphenol content in milk from lactating dairy goats.

Roccaverano Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is a fresh soft cheese produced in Roccaverano area (Italy). This study aimed to evaluate Roccaverano PDO microbiota, together with aromatic profile and sensory analysis to be compared with 15 non-PDO cheeses of the same type. Microbiota was evaluated through shotgun metagenomics sequencing, while GC-MS analysis was conducted to study volatile organic compounds (VOCs) presence and concentration.

Fermented milk (FM) is well-known to confer health-promoting benefits, particularly for managing chronic metabolic diseases. However, the specific cholesterol esterase (CE) inhibitory activities of FM produced from different animal milk sources have not been extensively explored. This study for the first time investigates the CE inhibition potential of FM derived from bovine (F_BM), camel (F_CM), sheep (F_SM), and goat milk (F_GM), each fermented with five different probiotic strains and stored for 14 days under refrigeration.
